Sam Hyde’s (@wigger) attacks on Hassan Piker represent the next great artistic frontier:
Action art.
A return to the rawest forms - physicality, emotion, violence.
Captivating, undeniable, and breaking through cultural programming.

Contemporary art’s connection to reality has been severed by over-intellectualization.
This decline is a symptom of a sterilized society, untethered to beauty and truth.
It is time for the Right to take up its rightful role as the true artistic avant-garde.

The modern Left cannot transcend our dying society because it is symbiotic with it.
Atheism, materialism, scientism, lawlessness, and excess serve as the foundation for progressivism.
If the parasite was to depart its host it would die.

The Right is untethered from these constraints - drawing its energy instead from perennial and transcendent sources.
We alone can move forwards - not along the arc of ‘progress’ - but to pass through our civilizational winter into what lies beyond.

We must leave behind a world saturated with propaganda that new material configurations (racial, sexual, technical) yield the keys to paradise.
What will remain will be a raw connection with the purely physical and the divine.
Fanatical devotion to immanence!

"A civilization is born at the moment when, out of the primitive psychic conditions of a perpetually raw humanity, a mighty soul awakes and extricates itself: a form out of the formless, a bounded and transitory existence out of the boundless and persistent" — Spengler
Action is the only expression available to us; it is best able to capture the raw energies that we must to unleash.
The centralization of the body - the most fundamental aspect of our existence on earth - must underlie action art.

Because the body is at the boundary between biology and society, between drives and discourse... biography and history, it is the site par excellence for transgressing the constraints of meaning or what social discursivity prescribes as normality.

This is the energy that Sam Hyde is channeling - the entertainer turned warrior, demanding that his intellectual opponents become his physical foes.
Despite insisting on ‘punching nazis’ - Piker cannot follow from theory to action.
Hyde has him.

The medium of ‘action’ has certain advantages that artists will exploit: the ephemeral nature of action results in an event that is difficult to seize and destroy.
This is especially true if the action is not overtly political, and indeed these actions will not have to be political, in that they are not trying to grapple with the old order, but to create something new.
Actions can be organized in secret and can rapidly coalesce into a singular events.
The lack of the existence of formal and enduring organisations again makes prosecution harder.
The lack of the existence of formal and enduring organisations again makes prosecution harder.
By converging only at particular moments, enough focus on the spectacle of the action can be generated to break into the public consciousness, as Hyde has done spectacularly.
These events will leverage all our natural advantages: physical beauty, fitness, aesthetics, tradition, myth.
Our art must draw its power from its authenticity, and will likely encompass acts of tremendous physical (as opposed to ‘intellectual’) daring.

Marina Abramović discovered something of this making 'Rhythm 10' - a 1973 performance art piece in which she adapted the Slavic knife game ‘five finger fillet’ to stab rapidly between her fingers with knives of varying size and shape:
"Pretty soon I had gone through all ten knives, and the white paper was stained very impressively with my blood. The crowd, including Beuys, stared, dead silent."
"And a very strange feeling came over me, something I had never dreamed of: it was as if electricity was running through my body, and the audience and I had become one. A single organism."
"The sense of danger in the room had united the onlookers and me in that moment: the here and now, and nowhere else."
